I do not know how your neighbors are like, but I live surrounded by many people. Some even say that neighbors are everything when you move to a new property. This was very true in my case. Neighbors were indeed everything, but I’ve learned to deal with them. If I ever am going to buy a new property, I am going to keep those things in mind:

-I will try to buy a detached house instead of living in a semi-detached property. Such properties are usually more expensive, but this is not going to discourage me for sure from buying a detached house. One problem with semi-detached properties or terraced properties is that a lot of noise travels through the walls. You can sit in your living room and suddenly hear your neighbors sneeze because of poor wall quality.

-Before I buy a property, I am going to spend some time checking the surroundings. I am going to check the property at various times of day and night just to make sure that it is quiet there.

-I will try to meet my new neighbors. Since neighbors are everything when it comes to where you live, I am going to introduce myself and tell them that I am planning to buy a property next to them. I will also try to get to know them a little.

I am so glad that another Christmas season is just around the corner. This must be my favorite time of year and many people I know also agree that Christmas is one of the most magical times ever. Just look at the picture below and then you will know immediately what I am talking about here. Just thinking about this time of year already makes me want to celebrate.

One reason this holiday season is going to be different from my past celebrations is the amount of time I am going to spend taking various pictures of my family members and sending various holiday cards. When I look at the quantity of pictures from the past year I realize that I might not have enough of them. What is more, not all of them are quality pictures: some of them are too blurred, some of them do not have a good background, and some of them were simply not thought over. Luckily for me, there is an easy way to transform even the most mediocre photo into something absolutely amazing. I am thinking here about Online photo editing such as fotor.com that offers limitless possibilities in the form of photo editing, collage etc.

What I like about it is the fact that there is absolutely no learning curve and I was able to figure out everything in a matter of seconds. The interface is very intuitive and straightforward, something you would expect from a program that was designed to allow you to enjoy photo editing as much as possible. There is a short tutorial that explains some basics and I found it to be helpful.

The moment you enter fotor.com you are greeted by six random images you can use to check what the program is like. You can choose to drag them to the main part of the screen, or you can choose to import your own photos if this is something you want to do. Whatever you decide to do, the real fun starts with the tool bar located on the left side of the screen. I personally went straight to the effect sections as this is something that I always like to do first in programs like these.

Now you probably understand why this time Christmas is going to be completely different from my previous celebrations. With the help of fotor.com I will be able to create my personalized Christmas story by inserting the pictures of my family members celebrating this very joyful occasion. And there is one more thing I am going to do: I am going to turn my pictures so that they look like paintings, which is absolutely my favorite thing to do.
